GARRETT PARK

The day here begins in the eighteenth century:
No trains, planes, or automobiles.  Birdsong, rather.
A farmer's market lays out tables down the street.
A choir in the Catholic church rehearses.

At eight the trains arrive from Harper's Ferry.
The industrial revolution is underway.
Handmowers, mailboxes, dishwashers, bicycles.
The buzz also of dogwalkers talking among themselves.

Cars are the following era, and planes from Reagan,
But cars are few, and planes keep their distance.  
There's still not quite the din of the twentieth century.
Still a village quiet.  Quieter still

 
Is the twenty-first.  The dogwalkers walk heads down
At their cell phones.  Electric cars are silent.
Evenings of course are timeless - black skies, stars -
Except for the strange passage of satellites.

“Irregardless of how overt he is with his faith, he always made faith something he was a stalwart for.”

Howl, howl, howl, howl! O you are a bad puppy!

As for your tongue, and eyes, I shoot them so,

That Heav’ns vault should crack. O good she is gone forever!

Folsom Prison Blues by Kristi

When I was just a baby,
my mama told me, “Kris,
don’t ever kill a puppy
your daughter’s gonna miss.”

But I shot a dog named Cricket
just to watch her die.
When that didn’t cure my bloodlust,
I gave the goat a try.

Nice. Another one would be

for ‘small errors’ in upcoming book

Noem statement via Fox News:

“They attacked me. And it was a hard decision. It was a choice between keeping my small children and other people safe, or a dangerous editor, and I chose the safety of my children. And South Dakota law states that ghostwriters who make errors can be put down.”
